The money came from fines of various description. The traffic law violators paid $2975 over the judicial counter. A total of $1751 was contributed by criminal cases of other kinds, $1568 of this sum coming from liquor cases. Civil fees for the month amounted to $59.

The office became a first-class office Monday, and two additional clerks were installed. Application has been made for three additional carriers and the department will probably allow them as they are badly needed. The postmaster's salary was increased $200 beginning with Mr. Whitaker's term, his compensation being $3200 per year.

She is a daughter of Mrs. William Kraus, of Aurora, who has visited the Nebelung family several times, and is well known here. The railroad commission, having instituted an investigation into the rules, regulations and practices and water supply of the West Anahaim Water company, has found that the company has been operating as a public utility in the sale and delivery to consumers other than stockholders. The commission further found that the company does not propose or intend to extend such service to new or additional consumers; that it has not reached the limit of its capacity to supply water; and that further consumers of water can be supplied by it without injuriously withdrawing the supply, wholly or in part, from those who have heretofore been supplied by that company. "SPEED TRAPS" TO BE ELIMINATED SOON All Traffic Cops Will Work in the "Open After September 1" Ridiculing the rumor of test cases to ascertain the validity of the provision in the motor vehicle act which goes into effect September 1—practically eliminating "speed traps" from California highways by making testimony thus secured invalid, officials of auto clubs declare that the absence of the "speed trap" will not mean an avalanche of reckless speeding. This provision of the new motor vehicle act, as pointed out by the auto clubs, merely means that uniformed officers will patrol the highways "in the open," rather than spending their time hiding behind bill boards or smoking their pipes under culverts. While it is also pointed out that the motoring organizations of California did not directly introduce or advocate the introduction of the "no speed traps" provision of the new act, they have concurred in the general belief that such a provision would work out for the betterment of all conditions concerned. It is realized that it is impossible to cover every mile of the California highways with uniformed officers and two additional clerks were installed.

MICROBE WARFARE THREATENED The league of nations is now beginning to concern itself with the prevention of "microbe warfare." Leaders are convinced that if another big war breaks out, belligerents will add new horrors in the nature of deadly diseases, deliberately spread among the enemy population. It is quite possible, barbarous as the idea sounds. Hardly anybody before 1914 would have expected the submarine attacks on merchant ships, the shelling of defenseless ports by battleships, the use of poison gas and liquid fire and other forms of terror then used for the first time by "civilized" powers. Most of these abominations now seem to be accepted as a matter of course. Strategists talk quite calmly of waging war "next time" not merely against the army, navy and air corps of the enemy, but against the entire population of the enemy country. Non-combatants, formerly immune, are to be slaughtered wholesale, along with the regular combatants—or even in place of the regular combatants, because it is easier to get at them. And the germs of deadly disease, scattered from airplanes or concealed in food or spread by spies, might serve that purpose more admirably—or diabolically—than anything else. Pestilence, for the first time in history, would become into criminals at large. No parallel is drawn between law-avading motorists and pick-pockets, but the inference is that in the case of the law-breakers, the strong arm of the law should be in evidence so as to be available, not only in case of accident, but also in case of reckless driving, which may take place outside of any limited area included in a speed trap. PROCESS The A.A. from mislegislation James F mission follows... Marriage licenses issued in Orange county during the month of June broke all records, according to figures given out by County Clerk J. M. Backs. The total number for the month was 476, against 325 of June, 1923; 247 of June, 1921, and 275 of June, 1920. The previous high record was May of this year when 350 licenses were issued. July is expected to see a drop in the number. Most of the licenses issued were to Los Angeles people and a majority of these were married by Justice J. B. Cox. John Hawkins, the well known Fullerton football player, has signed a contract to play first base for the Los Angeles baseball club, and will report for practice in February. He will be a member of the U. S. C. varsity football team this winter, and hopes to play again at Pasadena New Years' day. He has adopted baseball as his profession, and decided to sign with the seraphs, although he had a number of very flattering offers for his services among them bids from Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Salt Lake and other big league clubs. His many friends throughout Orange county will watch his progress on the professional ball field with interest and all feel certain that he will make good. It is realized that it is impossible to cover every mile of the California highways with uniformed officers, and also that a properly planned speed trap serves a proper purpose. According to the authorities, sentiment against speed traps developed from the localized habit of establishing a trap in such a way as to make the evidence thus secured unfair and valueless. Municipalities would not have their police officers hide behind sign boards, or under houses rather than walk their beats, in order to prevent crime. There would be just as much sense in providing uniformed motorcycle officers on the highways and then pay them, as has been the case to spend their entire day sitting comfortably in some secluded speed trap and nabbing motorists in that one small section of the road. By placing the speed officers out on the highways here, their mere presence in passing by will remind motorists that they must keep within the law as regards speed. Pick-pockets and other minor offenders would not be stopped in their criminal progress if it were not for the uniformed patrolman who is within call of their victims. If the patrolmen were hiding behind a billboard somewhere, he would not be of much service to throw the fear of the law Read the signs, You Automobiles You Will Save Yourself Trouble and Expense By Keeping Eyes Open One of the most frequent pleas made by motorists passing through small towns and getting arrested for speeding is "Oh, I didn't see the sign giving the speed limit," it is reported by court officials. This business of reading the road signs is important to all motorists, whether they be traveling in California or coming across the continent to THURSDAY Special Sale of Over 600 WASH.

Motoring organizations have spent millions of dollars in putting up road signs, not only guiding the motorist hither and yon, but also indicating the legal speed limit in the various sections of the country. These signs are not put up just for the fun of doing something, point out the authorities. And, furthermore, they are all placed in a regular manner and any plea of ignorance of them or failure to see them is laughed at by municipal courts. Ignorance of the road signs is just the same as ignorance of the law, say the courts, and is no excuse when you are saying "Good morning, Judge!" The seriousness of failing to give proper attention to official road signs is emphasized, point out auto club officials, by the number of motoring parties who get lost on little-travelled highways every month, and then have no one to blame but themselves. There is no longer any part of southern California which is not marked by the correct kind of road signs. Arrangements have been completed by the club for the marking of every travelable highway in this part of the country, beginning with San Diego and Imperial counties on the south, and going north to San Luis Obispo county. Get the sign-reading habit! When you buy a newspaper or a magazine, you buy it to read, and the same holds true with official road signs. They are put up to be read, and they are bought by the motorists who belong to the motoring clubs.

MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR FORDSON SHOW The Annual Event at Los Angeles July 15 to 22 According to Sid McGraw, local Ford and Lincoln dealer, arrangements have been completed for the second annual Fordson industrial power and transportation show in Los Angeles from July 15 to 22, inclusive. The show grounds will be located just west of Rogers airport, on Wilshire boulevard, opposite Carthay center, where suitable space has been provided for the many large exhibits and demonstrations which will be going on daily throughout the show. There will be ample space for parking cars adjacent to the main tent. Following the novel departure from other power shows, but adhering to the plan adopted with the inception of this Fordson affair last year, the exhibits will be housed under tents after the fashion of a circus. The active demonstrations will take place out of doors, and under conditions as closely similar to those under which the work PROTECTING OLD GLORY The American flag will be protected from misuse by enactment of special legislation in all states, if possible, James Fisk, state Americanism commission, has announced. Following the recent national conference of 68 patriotic societies and other organizations held in Washington, to promote flag observance, a national campaign has been started in the states under the leadership of the legion, to obtain statutes promoting flag observance, he said. A law will be sought to set apart flag day, on June 14, by proclamation of the state governor to be observed by display of the national emblem and by appropriate ceremonies. The flag will be placed on the main administration building of each public institution and at every polling place, if the legion's program carries. That the flag with the staff or flag pole will be provided for each school house and be displayed during school hours, is another recommendation. Other items on the program will be the enactment of laws prohibiting use of the flag as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying or delivering anything, and for advertising purposes, with heavy penalties for public mutilation, abuse or desecration. Prior to the adjournment of the flag conference, it was voted to make the conference a permanent body. The next meeting was set for flag day, June 14, 1924, at Washington. Fisk was named chairman of an ex-
